A New Year

saw 3

I just spent the last 20 minutes scrolling through ten years of photos to find any photo from a New Years Eve that I could share with you.

I couldn’t find one. Apparently we don’t really do NYE in this house. I did manage to find the cutest kids ever. Whew. They need to stop growing!

Anyhow, this is the first photo I ever got of my boys together. Willingly sitting by each other. Cooper is 4 and Sawyer is 2. It’s my absolute favorite.

Their relationship has been a unique one. I like to say they grew into each other. And watching them figure each other out is pretty special. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them. And the little one too.

Anyhow, happy 2021. We made it! Today has been full of naps for some, pond hockey for others.

The big guy took a hot tub and I watched Schitt’s Creek. We are giving meaning to lazy and family and resetting.

We are starting the year off perfectly in my eyes.

Here’s to a wonderful year full of growth, happiness, hopefully school, a return to our normal, and a new baby girl!

Cheers!
